That's a good thought. Once, I had one of them...the grey one, I've always mixed up their names. He was alright, but I think that without the other of the pair it was just an average toy. I always have loved the super-jet idea, but not having them both it was a lost feature for me. If I had them both, based on how I felt about the one, I imagine that they'd make my best of 87-90 list.

The names on those 2 have always made me dizzy as well. I also always had a hard time with Runamuck and Runabout. However, FunPub actually helped me remember who was who when they gave Runabout the alternate name of Over-Run.

Darkwing is literally the darker one of the two, while Dreadwind is the lighter off-white / blue one. I have them both, and they do sort of look good together as the 'Dreadwing' super-jet, although it's not THAT great. Darkwing is the nicer one of the two anyhow.

If there wasn't that pesky combined mode with a pesky combined name (and a later non-associated toy of the same name) I wouldn't have been nearly so confused.
